Today, I found out that my father died a little over a year ago. I don't know what's worse; the fact that I don't care or the fact that in his will all he wanted was me not to attend his funeral. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my estranged father died. No one bothered to tell me, and the only reason I found out was because his wife texted my sister. When I asked about the service, I was told I was not welcome in the state he had lived in, because I was no longer family. FML
Today, my father passed. He never gave me the time of day for anything, but he was my dad so I went to the funeral. However, 98% of the people there had no idea he had an eldest daughter. FML
Today, I found out that I'm not welcome at my boyfriend's dad funeral, because his ex-wife has invited herself, and it would be too awkward to explain to his extended family, most of whom apparently don't yet know that he's divorced. FML
Today, I learned that my brother isn't going to have a funeral because my dad and stepmom can't afford one. FML
Today, my father told me that it wasn't that I was written out of his will, it's that he never thought to include me in the first place. FML
Today, I learned that my father, who died when I was a child, was not in fact my father. This comes as my mom, who has been present and loving my whole life, passed away without providing any additional information. I'm a grown man and my family also had no idea. FML
Today, I found out that 15 years ago my father threw out my college acceptance letters so that I could stay home and take over the family's funeral home business. FML
Today, I found out that my dad and mom, who just passed away, were never married and that my siblings and I weren't actually his. Now there's the very real possibility that we could be taken away. I'll die if that happens. FML
Today, I saw my dad for the first time in almost five years, at his funeral. FML
Today, I found out my dad is dating my dead mom's best friend. FML

If you don't care that he died, why would you care that he didn't want you to go to the funeral? Sounds like it was a mutual understanding.

Daddy issues. It's a shame that they will never be resolved. That's why you should respect your parents always, whether they deserve to have you or not. Becuase you know, you never know when someine us goibg to die, and trust me, deep down you will always feel like a piece of your soul is missing because you never got to resolce your problems. Kayy I'll leave now.

That's not true. People can live happily without their parents. Sounds like this guy was awful, so be glad he's gone and move on to greater matters.

Sounds like you were both assholes.

Wow. This is hard to read. OP, I hope you can make peace some day. Dad is dad regardless of whatever happened. :(

Is it just me or is this the most awkward fml ever? I can't even think of a pun without feeling guilty...

Perdix isn't going to like this FML since the team has yet to implement a way to vote for which is worse.

You are right! I voted below, but without a counting system, how is the OP going to know what the "collective unconscious" thinks is worse?
FYLDeep 26
Yeah, it doesn't make sense. Don't the OPs visit this site to use it as a support group?

Must be a bad family situation all around. I can make you feel better. My brother in law just committed a double homicide and it's not only all over the place locally but internationally to boot. We're having Christmas there next week. FML and yours.
